The main cast themselves do a fine job at trying to make the story as dramatic as possible, it's just every other NPC you encounter that's mediocre at best and not interesting in the slightest. The voice acting overall also doesn't do the game any favors.

Whether or not you're a newcomer or returning player to the universe of Front Mission, no prior knowledge of the series is really needed to get the most out of the story. It ultimately makes the experience feel a bit disjointed and tacked on. Additionally, there were times where I'd choose a dialog option only to have the character I'm speaking to respond back at my choice, whereas in other scenes you'll hear your character deliver the line you choose. You have some control over the dialog options during cutscenes but it never really feels like the stakes are all that high during these decision making sections. Right off the bat, we're not given much time to really get invested in these characters, and the poorer qualities of Left Alive immediately get in the way of the story it's trying to tell, which is quite a shame. You have the rookie mech pilot Mikhail, the police officer with a mysterious military past, Olga, and Leonid, a man who should be dead but escapes imprisonment in the chaos of war. Our three protagonists aren't the most interesting of characters. It's the gameplay mechanics that are not as cool.

This setting amounts to a sort of cyberpunk Cold War era Russia, if you will, and it's genuinely cool, if not all too original. The story of Left Alive has you playing as three separate characters who are incidentally left alive to fend for themselves in a war-torn country known as Novo Slavia.
